This dessert is made by braising thin slices of ginger in sugar water and drying. It is a dessert characterized by its sweet and spicy notes. “Pyeongang” refers to this variant of thin ginger slices braised in sugar and dried. “Geongang” refers to ginger that is first steamed or boiled, while “Heukgang” refers to ginger roasted in a fire. At any rate, braised ginger in sweet sauce whets one’s appetite and helps with digestion. It is particularly beneficial for one’s stomach. To make this dessert, ginger is soaked in water overnight to eliminate the spicy flavors, then boiled and rinsed. In a wide pan, ginger slices and sugar are added and stirred. The sugar first foams and melts, then sticks to the surface as white crystals. This dessert offers a unique combination of crispy texture and spicy fragrance.
